Converting Upres’d 1080 Pro Res footage to 1080i 59.94 DNxHD
Hi there,
I’m working with SD 3/4″ Umatic footage that my company captured through a Teranex to 1080 Pro Res. The client needs DNxHD 1920x1080i at 59.94 – and I don’t see an option to export out of Premiere will all of those options. Some of the codecs allow me to manually set the frame rate to 59.94 but I’m locked into a progressive scan. Some of the others will give me the interlacing but the output will apparently be 29.97. Am I missing something? I usually don’t work with this codec.
Thanks!

You are missing that 59.94i is 29.97 interlaced. The number before the letter refers to IMAGES per second. Since interlaced footage has two different fields in one frame…it is then 60 separate images, but running at 29.97fps.
But when I create a new sequence, and look in the DNxHD list, I see 1080i59.94. So just choose that.

And do you need the Avid codec for DNxHD/HR?
I’m not sure if that comes with Adobe Premiere.
In the past, I’ve had to download that from the Avid site. -
Ah, well of course. I knew I was missing something — the vast majority of my editing work these days is with SD upres footage. Our clients usually just need 29.97 and call it a day. Thank you!

Yeah, the newer version of Premiere has it. Thank you!
